Bro, I'm so with ya...

Imagine having a Supercharger spinning at 50,000rpms with straight cut gears. I don't know what's worse, my exhaust or the annoying whine from my SC.

Ok, so the first ones to feel the hit from this crack down are the ricers and the modified sports compact cars. Second ones to be hit, I assume, are luxury japanese cars like ours. How bout the modified German cars? Do they ever get harrassed?

... or you could get a Camaro or Mustang and never have any trouble at all.

I used to have a 98 Camaro SS and never got a single ticket in that car. It had black tint all around, the loudest exhaust I could get on it, and even when I'd fly by speed trap cops all I'd ever get were smiles and nods.

Yea, Mustangs and Camaros get away with lots of stuff. Hey, most cops are really into the domestic pushrods. Heck, the CHP have Camaros.

yeah the article is old, but it is still relevant to us as they're still trying to crack down on modified cars. So, we still need to be careful. Plus the article is only half a year old.

luckily with lexus they give us the benefit of a doubt and sometimes over look us....damn why did i get gold rims for my black car

well personally i think it has more to do with what cars you are driving. if it's the ls430, i don't think you will run into trouble. if you drive an IS, hate to say but you have a much higher chance

same with the 3 series and the 7 series imho
